So, I have never seen one of these and the guy who was working was unsure of the species...just said its a SA cichlid...so I bought it :naughty:

Any idea what it is??

I think its some sort of riverine CA cichlid.

Maybe a tomocichla species?

So I called the pet store, and another guy there said its a "window cichlid" ?? never heard of a window cichlid before.
